    Evaluation of pesticides residues for estimation of maximum residue levels and calculation of dietary intake - Training manual 2011
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This pesticide residue training manual was developed to introduce trainees to the procedures and practices of residue evaluation in JMPR. It was first prepared for a training workshop in Budapest in November 2010. It has now been edited and compiled into a single document. The first part (Chapters 1 to 13) covers the relevant topics. They are illustrated by many examples taken from JMPR Reports and Evaluations. The Exercises provide the introduction and background suitable for practi cal exercises by small teams at a training workshop. The Presentations are PowerPoint versions of lecture topics for the training workshop. Because pesticide evaluation has developed its own terminology where many acronyms and abbreviations have their own special meaning, at the end of each chapter is a list of those used in the chapter as an encouragement for workshop trainees to become familiar with them.

    Submission and evaluation of pesticide residues data for the estimation of maximum residue levels in food and feed 2015
    The FAO Manual on the submission and evaluation of pesticide residues data for the estimation of maximum residue levels in food and feed contains general principle of the work undertaken by JMPR, is the continuous evaluation of new scientific developments and guidance documents. The Manual gives the historical background of the operation of the JMPR and describes the purpose of the work, the procedures involved in selection of compounds, the data requirements for estimating maximum residue l evels and the principles followed in the evaluation of experimental results and information provided. The Manual is also used by countries as a guidance document in residue evaluation and MRL setting. This 3rd edition of the FAO Manual incorporates the current working principles applied by the FAO Panel for evaluation of pesticide residues to recommend maximum residue levels, STMR and HR values and to assess the dietary exposure of consumers. In addition to the general updating of the text, t he third edition contains new methodologies /principles developed in recent 5 years.

    Pesticide residues in food 2008 - Report 2008 (Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues)
    Report of the Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues Rome, Italy, 918 September 2008

    The Meeting was held in pursuance of recommendations made by previous Meetings and accepted by the governing bodies of FAO and WHO that studies should be undertaken jointly by experts to evaluate possible hazards to humans arising from the occurrence of residues of pesticides in foods. The reports of previous Meetings (see Annex 5) contain information on acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), acute reference doses (ARfDs), MRLs, and the general principles that have been used for evaluating pestici des. The supporting documents (residue and toxicological evaluations) contain detailed monographs on these pesticides and include evaluations of analytical methods.

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.

    The Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) comprises the FAO Panel on Pesticide Residues and the WHO Core Assessment Group. The WHO Core Assessment Group is responsible for reviewing pesticide toxicological data and estimating acceptable daily intake (ADI) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) and characterizing other toxicological criteria. The FAO Panel on Pesticide Residues reviews the results of a range of studies including residue field trials and processing studies. These studies, called evaluations, are conducted for each individual pesticide and published in this report for the benefit of national governments who may use the information while undertaking national assessments.
